What is Codex Zacynthius?It is the oldest manuscript of the Greek New Testament to contain extracts from early Christian theologians writings as well as the biblical text. It is a manuscript with two stages to its history. The original manuscript was copied around the year 700, and contained the Gospel of Luke, with the extracts written around it in the three outer margins. It has recently been bought by Cambridge University Library, and this provides a unique opportunity to find out more about it.In the thirteenth century the manuscript was dismembered and the ink was rubbed out. It was then re-used to make a lectionary manuscript of the Gospels, written at right-angles to the original text. As a result, the older text is incomplete and much of it has been illegible ever since.Why is it called Codex Zacynthius?Manuscripts are often given a Latin name showing where they were found, or where they are now kept. Codex Zacynthius was found on the Island of Zante (Zakynthos), the most southerly of Greece's Ionian Islands. It was a gift from Prince Comuto of Zante to a British soldier, General Colin Macaulay, who donated it to the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1821. It has for long been in the keeping of Cambridge University Library, who finally bought the manuscript in 2014.Why does the original manuscript matter?The custom of making extracts from early Christian writers explaining biblical text is a fascinating study in its own right, showing how different generations understood scripture in the context of their entire heritage. It is also of value because some of these excerpts are taken from writings that have been lost in their entirety. Sometimes these are writings expressing views later deemed heretical, so that we lost access to the views themselves and only saw them through their opponents' eyes. Recovering these extracts gives us tantalising glimpses of such lost writings and lost interpretations.The later text is important because lectionaries are an under-studied element of the textual tradition of the Greek New Testament, but represent the form in which most people encountered the Bible as they were used for reading during public worship.What will the project achieve?Because the older manuscript was so thoroughly cleaned, it cannot be fully read either by eyesight or by traditional photography.The project will make new digital images using a technique called Multi-Spectral Imaging, which will make it possible to find the exact wavelength of the original ink. From these images we will be able to make the first complete transcriptions of the original text of the manuscript. We will also make a complete transcription of the later text. We will also make a translation of the extracts.We will makes these transcriptions in an electronic format, using techniques developed in the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing at the University of Birmingham. The images and transcriptions will all be published on the internet. We will also study the extracts and be able to write the first complete account of the way in which they were put together. We will then be able to discuss their place in the wider picture of biblical study. We will translate the original text in order to make it accessible to a non-Greek speaking audience.

什么是《扎辛修斯抄本》？它是希腊语新约最古老的手稿，包含早期基督教神学家著作和圣经文本的摘录。这是一份手稿，其历史有两个阶段。原始手稿于 700 年左右抄写，包含《路加福音》，并在三个外页边写有摘录。它最近被剑桥大学图书馆购买，这提供了一个了解更多信息的独特机会。在十三世纪，手稿被肢解，墨水被擦掉。然后它被重新用来制作福音书的抄本，与原文成直角书写。因此，较旧的文本是不完整的，从那时起，其中大部分内容就难以辨认。为什么它被称为 Codex Zacynthius？手稿通常有一个拉丁名称，显示它们是在哪里发现的，或者它们现在保存在哪里。扎辛修斯手抄本是在希腊爱奥尼亚群岛最南端的扎金索斯岛发现的。这是桑特岛科穆托亲王送给英国士兵科林·麦考利将军的礼物，后者于 1821 年将其捐赠给英国和外国圣经协会。该书长期以来一直由剑桥大学图书馆保存，剑桥大学图书馆最终在 1999 年购买了这份手稿。 2014.为什么原始手稿很重要？从早期基督教作家那里摘录解释圣经文本的习惯本身就是一项引人入胜的研究，展示了不同世代如何在其整个遗产的背景下理解圣经。它也很有价值，因为其中一些摘录取自已全部丢失的著作。有时，这些作品所表达的观点后来被视为异端，因此我们无法了解这些观点本身，而只能通过他们的对手的眼睛来看待它们。恢复这些摘录让我们对这些丢失的著作和丢失的解释有了诱人的一瞥。后来的文本很重要，因为词典是希腊新约文本传统中一个未被充分研究的元素，但代表了大多数人遇到圣经的形式它们被用于公共礼拜期间的阅读。该项目将实现什么目标？由于旧的手稿被彻底清理，无论是通过视力还是通过传统摄影都无法完全阅读。该项目将使用一种称为多光谱成像，这将使得找到原始墨水的准确波长成为可能。从这些图像中，我们将能够对手稿的原始文本进行第一个完整的转录。我们还将对后面的文字进行完整的转录。我们还将使用伯明翰大学文本学术和电子编辑研究所开发的技术，以电子格式进行这些摘录的翻译。图片和文字记录将全部发布在互联网上。我们还将研究这些摘录，并能够写出第一个完整的说明它们的组合方式。然后我们将能够讨论它们在更广泛的圣经研究中的地位。我们将翻译原文，以便非希腊语受众也能理解。
